"Tess? why would she be a probl...oh that's right your dating her already"

"Ya but I don't want to, I never really did it just happened kind of"

"Ya I know what you mean"

"it's just that I really love this other girl, and I always have,it's just
that I never thought I had a chance, 'till now, how did you do it liz?"

"Do what?"

"Dump Kyle"

"Well I just said enough is enough and did it"Liz said, it was more like a
spur of the moment type of thing"

"I wish I had your self-esteem"

"Plus I think I liked someone else"

"Really?"

"Ya"

"Do I know him?"

"Ya I'm pretty sure you do" Liz looked at the time "Oh uh Maria should be here
now, Ill go check, knowing her she's probably going bananas looking for me"

"Oh,ok" Max said barely hiding his dissapointment

"Are you coming?"

"Ya I'll be there in a few minutes, but I think I'll sit here for a while"

"Ok well I'll save you a dance or two then?"

"Ya that'd be great" Max smiled *me dancing with Liz Parker*

"Ok then, dance with ya later" Liz joked, * I wonder who he likes*

Max smiled *I wonder who she likes*

Maria walked through the crowds of people in the hallways and basically
everywhere else. As she finally walked outside she saw what seemed to be
Liz sitting on a bench pretty close to a boy, *wait a minute isn't that?.....
MAX! MAX EVANS!! YAY, Well it's about damn time! As she walked back in to find
Alex who was probably with Isabel


Michael drove down the street and could already hear the loud music over his
engine *I wonder if Maria's there* and then he saw her, walking into the house,
he quickly parked his bike and ran to the front door, where he last saw her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Maria"

"Liz Hey! what are you doing here?"

"What do you mean?" Liz asked

"Well shouldn't you be outside with um... let's say Max Evans??"

"Maria stop it we were just...Wait you saw us?"Liz frowned

"Yuuuup"Maria smiled *Ha I love this*

"And for how long?"

"I just passed by and saw you with him so I left, Why did anything else happen??"
Maria got a little too excited there "Did you finally kiss???"

"No!Maria we didn't"

"But you wish you did?" It was more of a statement than an answer

"N-no..." Liz hesitated

"Oh come on Liz, who am I?" Maria said

"Your Maria Deluca...."

"Exactly" Maria cut in

"The chatterbox" Liz finished

"Hey!"Maria swatted her arm playfully. Looking a bit further than Liz she
saw Max watching them

"Well he's interested"

"What?, who?" Liz turned around and caught Max watching her "Your tripping"

"Ha, no i'm not"

"Max Evans, This?" Liz said pointing to herself "No way"

"What? Yes way, you are gorgeous and those cheeks! Preciosita Tan Linda! Go"
Maria told Liz as she swatted her away. Maria felt someone gently tap her
shoulder, she turned around to see Michael Guerin

"Hi Maria"

"Michael, Hi"

"Dance?" He said as he looked at the dance floor and then at her helplessly
*OH God she's gonna say no, What was I thinking?*

"Uh...Ya sure"
